Translation of Verse 71-76

71. O believers! Take your precautions and go forth either in groups or together.

72. There will be some among you who will lag behind so that if you face a disaster, they will say, "Allah has blessed us for not being there among them."

73. But if you return with Allah's bounties, they will say-as if there had been no bond between you -"We wish we had been there with them to share the great gain!"

74. Let those who would sacrifice this life for the Hereafter fight in the cause of Allah. And whoever fights in Allah's cause-whether they achieve martyrdom or victory-We will honour them with a great reward.

75. And what is it with you? You do not fight in the cause of Allah and for oppressed men, women, and children who cry out, "Our Lord! Deliver us from this land of oppressors! Appoint for us a saviour; appoint for us a helper-all by Your grace."

76. Believers fight for the cause of Allah, whereas disbelievers fight for the cause of the Devil. So fight against Satan's ˹evil˺ forces. Indeed, Satan's schemes are ever weak.
